latex sherwin williams paint is actually very forgiving on plastic leviton outlets as long as you wipe it up quickly - plus who rolls around the outlets? i brush around the outlets 4 inches, then feather in with the roller
@ChrisCudmore dad and i like to put the outlets in before drywall to make sure the electrical is right. would really suck to drywall just to find out you f'ed up the electrical somehow haha
Well, it rained pretty heavily the entire week while I was working, so I waited a day or two before drywalling to see if I could find a leak. I believe whatever was causing the problem was fixed. I think the mold there was from back when that window used to be a doorway.
Here's my fix:
The wall...
when we were picking a white to be used throughout the house on the trim, the wife chose from no less than 20 shades of white. took her and her father a week to decide on the trim color, let alone what to paint a room
other than ceilings and trim, i dont think we have a single wall painted white in the house
the kitchen is the only one we did 2 times in the last 3 years. it was a complete gut and we had a light blue on hand so we used it when we remodeled it (3 years ago). we re-painted it a dark tericotta just this spring
the tones of all the rooms are the same, just different colors. if i showed you a picture of all the major rooms, if you didnt know, you'd think they were all from different houses
each room has a purpose and its own style. the dining room is a darker lavander / grey - cause its a sit down / have a nice dinner room. bedroom is calming darker blue, family room is a medium beige to match the furniture
@ChrisCudmore Lovely. I work for a public school district, so I'm constantly bombarded with emails, flyers, pamphlets, t-shirts, etc -- all in Comic Sans.
I've been thinking of ways to continually add content to the blog, and the most recent idea is to have a recurring series of posts detailing DIY "bloopers". The general idea is for users to submit "mistakes" they've made while improving their homes, and posting 5-10 of them in a monthly/bi-month...
Has anyone used the new Lutron CL dimmers with two companion dimmers? My kitchen lights have 3 switches and I'm thinking of replacing them with CL dimmers.
Which means one master and two companions. But the instructions for the master say to refer to the instructions for the companion for how to wire them all together, and I can't find the latter anywhere on the Lutron website.
Lutron technical support is being a pain. Me: please email me a link. Them: please call our technical support, wait on hold, explain what you need, get the wrong information, repeat as needed.
So, was wondering if anyone has installed the CL dimmers
Sorry to talk about home improvement instead of torturing sea creatures with Cypress Hill tunes
Unrelated derail: Poster says, "I need a new computer and really like having two monitors." I give a few recommendations for low end pc's (low end user). Some time later, 3rd person asks, "Curious as to why you're advocating the two monitor capability, Greebo?"
Me: Because I read the OP's post. You may slap yourself in the forehead now. ;)
